Damin0uon Show HN: Fake SMTP server as a service

I don't like the idea of external SMTP for this when http://danfarrelly.nyc/MailDev/ can make everything works locally - and it's very easy to add in our Docker based projects.

Damin0uon Show HN: GUI for writing Elasticsearch queries

Yet another separated tool. The Elasticsearch ecosystem is not going to became simpler with ES 5 removing the "site" plugins and everyone doing their own apps instead of building Kibana Apps (i.e. Cerebro, the new Kopf)...

Damin0uon Typeset.js – A typographic pre-processor for HTML

For PHP you can have a look at JoliTypo [1], much more up to date, tested, working for any style guide and using a real parser.

Disclaimer: I'm the author, and I've tested them all.

Damin0uon Twitpic is shutting down

So it's time to try this backup tool https://github.com/Stantheman/Twitpic-Backup

Damin0uon Introducing HippyVM, PHP interpreter using PyPy technology

PH7, Phalenger, HHVM, PHPQB, Zephir, KittenPHP, JPHP, and now Hippyvm... A lot of them were unknown before the Facebook HHVM popularity.

Damin0uon SensioLabs successfully closes its $7 million Series A financing

I do not know how good it will be for the PHP/Symfony eco-system but that's great news for them, as long as they keep their strong open-source engagement.

They are now a real open-source editor company, way more "pro" than "an agency building a framework" and that's good for everyone.

Damin0uon Weak passwords brute forced

I wish the weak password blacklist was public, so we can all implement password check like this easily, and maybe get rid of them forever (even if banning "chicken" as password is only a way to have "egg" popping up).

Damin0uon PredictionIO, a machine learning server for software developers & data engineers

Same, asking about suggestions in terms of best practice to integrate PredictionIO in some PHP frameworks.

If I like the product, I may open-source some plugin or wrapper around their SDK for specifics product or framework, but asking will not make it happens faster.
